The Screen Guide

The moving and evocative TV portrayal of Australia's South Sea Island labourers. They were brought to Australian shores in their tens of thousands, torn from their homes and families, often kidnapped, and transported under terrible conditions. These same people were instrumental in turning the fledgling Australian sugar industry into a vital commodity which now earns Australia millions of dollars in foreign exports.
